The IGH/MYC product consists of probes, labeled in green, covering the Constant, J, D and Variable segments of the IGH gene, and MYC probes, labeled in red. The MYC probe mix contains four probes, two 197kb, 277kb probes positioned centromeric to the MYC gene and two 186kb, 297kb probes positioned telomeric to the MYC gene, including the D8S1644 marker.
We have successfully used CytoCell haematology probes over the last 5 years and were looking for the same quality and consistency for our FISH pathology screening. OGT worked closely with us to help our lab evaluate – and later validate – CytoCell pathology probes. CytoCell is now our primary FISH probe supplier. Results have been excellent and we were able to consolidate our workflow to follow a single, streamlined protocol.
